Makivo End User Licence Agreement

Effective November 11, 2026.

This agreement is between you and Ingress Software LLC, 712 Thompson Falls Dr, Canton, Georgia 30114, USA (“Ingress”, “we”). It covers the Makivo software for Mac, iPad, Windows and Linux, its updates, and the Makivo online services (together, “Makivo”). By creating a Makivo account or using Makivo you accept this agreement. If you do not accept it, do not use Makivo.

If you got Makivo from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement also applies, and where the two conflict for that copy, Apple’s terms win.

1. What you get

Trial. A new account may use every feature of Makivo free for 15 days. The trial is one per person and one per device.

Licence. When you buy a Makivo licence, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as section 4 allows) licence to install and use Makivo on up to three devices that you own or control, of any supported kind, for as long as you like. The licence is tied to your Makivo account, and Makivo checks in with our servers from time to time to confirm it; a device keeps working offline for up to 30 days between check-ins. You may remove a device from your account to free its place for another.

Updates. Your licence includes all updates to Makivo version 1 (1.x). A future major version may be a separate purchase; if so, your version 1 licence keeps working.

What you make is yours. Designs, projects, G-code and anything you cut with Makivo belong to you, including for sale. The built-in library designs are provided for you to use in your own work; their individual licence notes say whether items made from them may be sold.

2. What you may not do

You may not copy Makivo except as this licence allows; sell, rent, lend or sublicense it; share your account or licence with people outside your household or business; work around or disable the licence check; reverse engineer, decompile or modify Makivo except where the law allows it regardless of this clause; use Makivo to break the law or to harm others; or use the online services to abuse free trials, upload content you have no right to, or disrupt the service.

3. Your account and our services

You need an account to use Makivo. Keep your password private and tell us if you think someone else has it. The online services (sign-in, licence checks, the design library, tool-library sync, optional AI features through your own provider key) are provided as they are and may change. We may suspend an account that breaks this agreement. Our Privacy Policy explains what we store.

4. Transfers and refunds

You may transfer your licence to another person once every 12 months from inside Makivo; the licence leaves your account and your devices. For purchases made through Apple’s App Store, refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s rules. For purchases made directly from us, you may ask for a full refund within 14 days of purchase by emailing support@ingresssoftware.com; the licence is then cancelled.

5. Machines, safety and your responsibility

Makivo produces instructions for CNC routers, lasers and similar machines. These machines can injure people and damage property. You are responsible for checking every toolpath, preview and G-code file before running it; for the setup of your machine, work holding, bits, speeds and feeds; for following the machine maker’s safety instructions; and for watching the machine while it runs. Feeds, speeds and bit data in Makivo’s libraries are starting points, not guarantees. Preview and simulation show what Makivo expects, not what your machine will do.

6. No warranty

Makivo is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not promise that Makivo is error-free or that it will work with every machine, file or device. Some places do not allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

7. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Ingress is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, materials, or machine time, arising from Makivo or this agreement, however caused. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for Makivo in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in this agreement limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Ending this agreement

This agreement lasts as long as you use Makivo. It ends automatically if you break it; you must then stop using Makivo. Sections 1 (what you make is yours), 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 survive.

9. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts for Cherokee County, Georgia, and you agree to their jurisdiction, except that either of us may seek an injunction anywhere to protect intellectual property. Consumers in the EU and UK keep the protections of their local law.

10. General

This is the whole agreement about Makivo and replaces earlier ones. If a part is unenforceable the rest stands. We may update this agreement for new versions of Makivo; the version that applies is the one shown in the app and at this address. Questions: support@ingresssoftware.com.
